Description: This route is perfect for all types of bikes and riders. It has a mixture of technical and easy going sweeping roads with excellent visibility with a mixture of small towns with some big towns interspersed for fuel and coffee stops. Traffic is scarce for the 1st half of the route until you head up to Puy Mary when you can expect to meet tourists. On the way down from Puy Mary to Aurillac you will encounter a few cyclists enjoying the down hill section. From Aurillac to Tulle you will meet a truck or 2 through this sensational twisty run down into Tulle. Once out of Tulle and on the D940 you will once again enjoy a relatively congestion free road.
